Answers to Scenario 8-2: Frame Relay Verification 627
The encapsulations are not easy to notice from the commands listed. The show interface
command would have simply listed the answer. However, in this case, a few subtle reminders
were included. The debug output on Albuquerque and Seville shows PPP output on
Albuquerque's S0 interface and LAPB output for Seville's S1 interface. The show ipx route
commands also happen to list the encapsulation for connected networks. Table 8-53
summarizes the details.
An extra IP route is included in the routing tables on the PPP-connected routers. When the IPCP
announces the IP addresses on each end of the link, the IOS decides to add a host route
specifically to that IP address. For example, Albuquerque has a route to 199.1.1.128/27 (subnet
on serial link to Yosemite) and to 199.1.1.130/32 (Yosemite's address on that same link). The
/32 signifies that the route is a host route.
Answers to Scenario 8-2: Frame Relay Verification
Figure 8-42 is a diagram that matches the configuration.
Discovering the IP addresses and subinterfaces is relatively straightforward. The show
commands for most subinterfaces are provided, and these list the IP address and mask used. The
show cdp neighbor detail commands also mentioned the IP address of the connected routers.
The full IPX addresses were more challenging to deduce. The only command that listed the IPX
addresses was the show cdp neighbor detail command, which was used in Examples 8-37,
8-38, and 8-39. The show frame-relay map command should seemingly have provided that
information, but because all the subinterfaces are point-to-point, no true mapping is needed.
The subinterface acts like a point-to-point link, so the neighboring router's IPX address is
not shown in the show frame-relay map command output. A debug frame-relay events
command, which shows output for Inverse ARP flows, could have identified the IPX addresses,
but Inverse ARP is not enabled on point-to-point subinterfaces because it is not needed.
In short, there was no way to deduce all IPX addresses from the scenario.
